Question

The simply-supported beam is built-up from three boards by nailing them together as shown. (Figure 1) Part A If P = 12 kN, determine the maximum allowable spacing $s$ of the nails to support that load, if each nail can resist a shear force of 2 kN. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. 64 s = mm

Step 1

Since each nail can resist a shear force of 2 kN, and there are three nails, the total shear force that the nails can resist is 2 kN * 3 = 6 kN. Show more…
